Divorce is Final Today--I feel free

N had to go to court today to "take" the divorce since he filed. Tonight I am feeling kind of free. I'm no longer married to an uncaring, uncompassionate, thoughtless reptile. I deserve better, and maybe someday I'll find him.

In the meantime, I'm picking up the pieces and trying to move on. I told my kids that the divorce was final today, and they seemed okay about it. He had visitation tonight from 6-8 and he texted me in the middle of it to complain to me that I have given our children "too much adult information." Wow! I am so powerful that I am still to blame when he is having problems, even though we are divorced and I haven't spoken to him or had contact in about 6 months!

No Barbara, I didn't reply, and I wasn't here when he dropped off the kids, even though he apparently drove around the neigborhood waiting for me to come home.

I am having some health issues, and may have to have surgery to remove an ovary with a cyst. This is my focus today, that and getting a job, insurance, food on the table, paying off debt, etc. NOT HIM!!

Congrats! You know, the new

Congrats! You know, the new thing is to have a divorce party! I know you have other things on your plate right now. God's way of saying: "this time, it's about you - how well are you going to take care of you?" If you were still with him your surgery would be a burden to him. This is a scary time but ironically, a time when you come first (which I'm sure is a first!). Praying for you! Keep us posted on your health! nolongercontrolled

Congratulations on your divorce being final. I'm sure it's a relief in many ways. You're right, more focus on taking care of YOU and those sweet kids!

congrats you will be to

congrats you will be to blame for the weather - like me... best of luck I have cystic ovaries - see if they can just do a web resection. You should NOT have the whole ovary out if it can be avoided. GET A SECOND OPINION before you remove something that makes hormones that keeps you healthy just because of a cyst. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ CLICK HERE: Articles & information for Victims - Updated Daily "As soon as you feel that crazy sense of walking on eggshells, fending off N-rage, stop.

Thank you everyone

Thank you for your friendship & support. I know that I never would have made it through the end of my marriage with my soul intact without all of you. This website has really helped me through many sleepless nights and miserable days. I feel like I have come to some sort of peace with myself and the divorce. This is not the happy ending I wanted when I realized I deserved better two years ago. Buti am hoping for a new beginning for my kids and me. I feel that I am showing them that putting up with verbal and emotional abuse is unacceptable.
